How they mess with clients:
Belief may not move mountains but it can certainly produce a powerful psychological, and sometimes even physical, cure. It's been found that believing whether an antidepressant will work for you is the most important aspect of whether it will or not!(1)
And more research found that depression is essentially made up of negative expectations about the future.(2)
Therapists of all flavours should, I think, be expert in subtly garnering, building and focusing the hope of their clients and in this week's Clear Thinking 'How To Help Your Clients Believe They WILL Get Better' I will give you three strategies to do just that.
Here's to the future,
